September 7-9 2012

Ok, so I guess when I said I'll update my blog "Tomorrow", it really meant "11 days". Wow. Sorry, I'll try and make sure I update each week, if not everyday.

Friday Sep. 7:

First official day of being on our own without "Parental Supervision"
Got woken up by mom calling at 7:10. We talked for a while about what we were doing today. Morgan and I were about to get some breakfast, but Kayle (one of our I-Team leaders) knocked at the door and said we were meeting in 5 min to go to a meeting. So for breakfast we had an apple. (Not the healthiest first day breakfast).

We had 2 meetings:

1. Learning Method

College is going to be WAY different than high school. In high school you go to class, learn a lesson, and get homework that covers the lesson you learned in class. Well in college, we are expected to do the "home work" first. Which is called "Prepare". We are to Prepare for class BEFORE we get to class. Then we are to "Teach One Another", then "Ponder and Prove" what we have learned.

2. Learned about our Majors

Went to a seminar type of thing where the counsel of the Art Department talked to us about how to be successful in class. How many credits we need, and the different types of degrees we can get.

After the lessons we had a FREE New Student BBQ. We got a nasty looking (but good) hamburger, bag of chips, water bottle and a Grass Hopper Brownie (Mint Brownie).

Then we had a "Get Involved" Fair, where we learned about the upcoming activities, like when sports start up.

Free time from 3:30 to 8pm.

Got our I Card.

At 5:30 we had a pick-nick out side our room on the tables. It was fun, we had a couple of girls from our I-Team there and some of the guys who decided they wanted to some food (But it was all right, they brought a watermelon).

At 8 we headed to the Talent show, which was boring. We were in the back, and couldn't see anything. It was mainly just girls and boys singing while playing the guitar.

Saturday Sep. 8:

Basically did nothing today until 6. At 10:30 we toured the campus with our I-Team, then Morgan and I went and picked up our books. Kinda picked up our room for a little bit, then I watched Revolution on Hulu, but Morgan was talking to me, so I really didn't watch it.

At 6 we headed to I-Night with I-Team. It cost $5 to get in, and we go a $1 card for food. The best part was the rock wall. Morgan and I failed our first attempt, but made it up our second. Then we took a break and went to get Ice Cream with our food card, then Morgan went on the rock wall again.

Sunday Sep. 9:

Church was a little weird...We had RS first, then Sunday School, and lastly was Sacrament. There are about 90 wards with around 150 or so students.

At 5 we had a CES Fireside, Elder Holland spoke (it was broadcasted from St. George UT, so he wasn't actually at BYUI), it was really good.

Then later that night, I re-watched Revolution.

Tomorrow (Sep. 10) marks the 1st day of COLLEGE!
